I know that the 250's come with 17's, but if I am interested in getting the 18 inch G-spider rims.... would I be able to upgrade to them even though I have the AWD? I heard somewhere that it isn't possible....please can someone let me know.....

If you are talking about the AWD, but if you are talking about the AWD, it does not come with a staggered setup like the RWDs. Not sure if you would want a staggered setup on an AWD assuming that the G-Spiders are staggered. Correct me if I am wrong. I am too look for a set of rims for the Spring time and I am liking the Volk Progressive TEs I saw someone posted on their white IS350.

I don't believe that the G-Spiders from the GS are staggered, therefore they should work on the IS. I agree that you should absolutely NOT use staggered wheels on the IS AWD.

guys who have WRXs and STi and EVO's etc, all use the same size wheel, they dont use staggered. I guess if you want the look go for it.

I think I may have been a little confusing with my post....What I was trying to say was that I like the look of the G-spider rims....I was just wondering if they would work on my AWD....I do not have any intention of making my IS staggered or not staggered, just the rims (I really do not know exactly what you guys mean by staggared, I have some idea though)

Yes, the G-Spider rims will fit without a doubt on your IS250 AWD as the bolt pattern and offset is the same as the stock wheels.

Staggered wheel set up means the rears are wider than the fronts, and in some cases also a larger diameter i.e. 17x8 in front and 18x9 in the rear.
